Create Herringbone Stitch Branches: Add rows of 11/0 seed beads in a herringbone stitch pattern to form star branches around the pearl. Layer Additional Rows: Add rows to each branch with a mix of 11/0 and 15/0 beads, gradually tapering toward the star points. Attach the Rivoli Bezels: Secure each Rivoli crystal with a bezel stitch and attach them to the branches of the star.
